It happened around 7 am. A school bus was stopped on US 41 in Levy County, while two children boarded the bus.

Tiffany Poupard, 29, was driving a silver Toyota Highlander SUV when it hit the back of the bus. Poupard died at the scene. Her 6-month-old daughter survived with minor injuries. None of the children on the bus were seriously hurt.

A witness to the crash, Lisa Ervin, says she pulled the baby out of the wreck and tried to comfort Poupard in her final moments.
